lyrics

Two lovers smoking up a small room and running outta air soon,
Waiting for the end of love. With one heart beating like a stopwatch.
Watching as the sky drops pointing out the stars above.

Makes me think about Australopithecus
Anytime I feel like this
Drinking in my emptiness
Under the same sky as his.
Four million years ago,
So many more to go you're
Just another player in the pen
Someone to fill the show.

Like a soldier in a row or a drunk dancing on the banks of Chicago
We all make sure to fold our Sunday clothes. Because we're children of
Time and we're walking aimless down the line. Passing by just
Like the falling snow. Makes me think about

Australopithecus
Anytime I feel like this
Drinking in my emptiness
Under the same sky as his.
Four million years ago,
So many more to go you're
Just another player in the pen
Someone to fill the-

Show me a love I won't forget
Wife or weekend I'll take what I get. Cause
Life by Life and name by name
We'll fade out, like

Australopithecus
And all of his relatives
Once upon a time they were here
And that was it.
Four million years from now
Will they figure out
We're all reverberations in the same sound.

Today you cannot know
The sorrow that tomorrow holds.
Wait up to hear the Midnight bells.
If tomorrow will not tell you
How much water's in the well,
Roll on and see for yourself.
